"The current list has 32 players but it can be changed if a player is injured or cannot join the national team for some reason," Coach Huu Thang shared. "The tournament has a rule that only 23 players can be registered in each match. Therefore, I would like to say in advance that players who are not registered in a certain match still have a chance in other matches. In football, no one can predict anything."
